Recent X-ray Diffraction and Electron Microscope Studies of Striated Muscle
The sliding filament model for muscular contraction supposes that an appropriately directed force is developed between the actin and myosin filaments by some process in which the cross-bridges are involved. The cross-bridges between the filaments are believed to represent the parts of the myosin molecules which possess the active sites for ATPase activity and actin-binding ability, and project ...
متن کاملLow-angle x-ray diffraction and electron-microscope studies of isolated cell membranes.
A sequence of low-angle X-ray diffraction patterns obtained during the controlled drying of a preparation of rat erythrocyte ghosts has been interpreted with the aid of corresponding electron micrographs and of a parallel study of myelin isolated from guinea-pig brain. A diffraction pattern that persists down to a level of 10-20 % hydration of the sample is believed to arise from the close pack...
متن کاملElectron Microscope and X-ray Diffraction Studies on a Homologous Series of Saturated Phosphatidylcholines
Three homologous saturated phosphatidylcholines were studied by electron microscopy after tricomplex fixation. The results are compared with those obtained by x-ray diffraction analysis of the same and some other homologous compounds, in the dry crystalline state and after tricomplex fixation. By electron microscopy alternating dark and light bands are observed which are likely to correspond to...
متن کاملElectron Microscope and Low-angle X-ray Diffraction Studies of the Nerve Myelin Sheath
1. A close correlation has been obtained between high resolution electron microscopy and low-angle x-ray diffraction studies of the myelin sheath of frog and rat peripheral and central nerves. Extensive studies were performed by application of both techniques to the same specimens, prepared for examination by OsO(4) or KMnO(4) fixation, and embedding either in methacrylate or in gelatin employi...
متن کاملElectron Microscope and X-ray Diffraction Studies of a Saturated Synthetic Phospholipide
In the course of a study of natural, hydro-genated, and synthetic phospholipides it has already become clear that some compounds in which the lipide chains are fully saturated do interact with osmium tetroxide and that suitable preparations of such compounds show a regular, layered structure when viewed in the electron microscope. One clear cut example, which seems worthy of early mention, is a...
